From Doan's Desk.... From Doan's Desk....

Thank you to everyone for working as a community this week to get our state testing done. For the first time, everything was administered completely on computers. There was a lot of fear and trepidation that there could be lots of problems (students without school-issued devices, internet outages, etc). Turns out this may have been the smoothest every way to offer standardized testing for hundreds of students at a time. Going paperless meant we are no longer storing, tracking, and mailing back sensitive materials. From a school viewpoint, things went off with very few glitches and hopefully students appreciated the increased efficiency of the entire process.


Have a great weekend!!


Greg Doan

Principal
